Okay, so I have a friend who has been asking for this recipe for a while and so, my happy home tip this week is a recipe for a drink that we call Ginger Tea. This is what I make when I am feeling sick, tired or a little down ... basically it's part of my happy place, lol. It's particularly good for when you are sick because it has great healing ingredients.
Start by boiling 2 cup of water and then put in 2 tea bags (we prefer Tetley orange pekoe tea) to let steep. While the tea is steeping, heat (do not boil) 2 cups orange juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 tsp ginger and 1/4 tsp cinnamon (or put cinnamon sticks in afterwards) in a pot on the stove. Once the orange mixture is hot (steaming), take the tea bag out of the water and add the tea to the orange mixture. Voila! Ginger tea. Having a nice Christmas cookie with it would be great as well. It is pictured here with molasses buns (Look at the earlier post "Ode to my Nan Fradsham') and man was it a yummy snack!
I know this recipe is used a lot in our house and I hope that you can make use of it as well!
